Life Update

Hello, again! I feel like it has been forever since I’ve written a blog post. Maybe that’s because it has been? I took the spring & summer off from blogging. Now that fall is right around the corner, it seemed like a good time to get back into writing again & spending a bit more time on this blog. After all, fall is my favorite time of year!

The boys will turn three in November — time is just flying by! We are starting homeschool next week. I will be teaching the boys from a preschool curriculum that I am really excited about! I’m also looking forward to sharing the experience here so you all can follow along with us.

We had a great summer, along with a lot of firsts for our family! First camping trip with the boys (they did amazing!), first visit to a ranch & our first family trip to Wenatchee/Leavenworth. The last time we were there was when I was pregnant with the boys! We celebrated births, birthdays & our TENTH wedding anniversary, went on countless zoo & beach trips…overall, we had a fun-filled summer!

Here are some pictures highlighting the last six months or so:

It was a nice break but now I’m ready to get back to regular posting. This little blog brings me so much joy & I can’t wait to share more with you :) keep your eyes out for new posts coming soon!

Apple Picking

We spent the last day of September & the last day of Sean’s paternity leave at a gorgeous farm on Mt. Hood picking apples. Although cloudy, it wasn’t raining or too cold which made for a comfortable walk through the orchard.

There were plenty of different fruits to pick from, we picked Gala & Golden Delicious apples. I’ve wanted to go apple picking for years & I was so happy to be able to go this year with Sean, Wyatt & Boden. The boys absolutely loved eating the apples! It was the cutest thing watching them hold apples in their tiny hands & take bites out of them.

It was the perfect way to conclude Sean’s leave, even though we really didn't want it to end! I hope this will become a new family tradition for us, as we pulled away from the farm I felt refreshed & happy. There is nothing in the world I love more than having precious moments like these with my boys.

I’ve already made the boys some apple sauce, it was a huge hit! Do you have any good recipes for Gala or Golden Delicious apples?

As you can imagine, we took about a million pictures! It was so hard to pick which photos to use for this post. If you are interested, you can click this link to view all of the photos from our day.
